He was a bit surprised to find himself standing at the same height as Drake, but decided to use that to his advantage. Drawing himself as tall as he could, he held his chest out and his arms rigid, an indirect challenge to the other man. 'I dare you to touch me.'

Hassen listened carefully, filing the information away for later. He relaxed even more when Edward left in search of Suibhne. The less people that surrounded him and his master, the better.

Trotting over to Drake, Hassen asked softly, "Sir Drake, what happened to the servant you sent to bring my master and myself here?"
